Summer Bummer
/Labor Day Weekend
-I said goodbye to this summer in New England, covered in ice cream, and rocking my obsession of the moment; the turban. This Labor Day was a culmination of letting go of the warm air and sandy beaches, and accepting the pending fall season in the big city. I arrived this am, ready and excited for the start of NYFWSS15, and even more ready to show you all this years amazing looks!

The Last Summer Adventures
"Bear, put something nautical on, we're going sailing."
Where I grew up is probably on of the most beautiful places in the summer, come winter, all the stylish yuppie visitors from around the world leave their oceanside abodes, and you are left with a fishing town that most people have never left...(hence why I moved), but Gloucester Mass is filled with my best friends, my Nana's house in Anisquam, and the picturesque property my parents own in the Dogtown woods. It really is a stunning island. So last weekend, tired of the NYC grime and missing Bear, a.k.a Skye, my BFF of 20 years, I ventured home with a suitcase filled with summer whites and metallics, to have a weekend on the water.
Victorias Secret Cheeky Bikini, Roberto Cavali Dress, vintage metallic shirt!
I wore: a windbreaker I found in the back on my BFFs car, a J.Crew denim shirt, Madewell scarf, and U. Delaware cap, (also not mine.)

Clothes need settings to be special and settings need outfits to be remembered. Whenever I buy something new, I make up a story of where I see myself wearing the piece, this time the story happened to be more perfect than anything I could have imagined.
It was Sunday night in Gloucester Massachusetts, the sunset was perfect, and the ocean breeze made it easy to be grateful. I was wearing Madewell overalls, a J. Crew Sailor top, and the item of desire, (the sold out everywhere), black and white canvas Chanel espadrilles. I’m not sure I had a story for these babies yet; they were so special their showcase had to be perfect. When I got dressed that night I thought to myself “f*ck It, I’ll wear them here, and then set up an occasion in NYC to break them out for real.” The Madfish is a bar located literally on top of the water in a small bay, and on Sunday nights they have a live Reggae band. A newly minted PR Agent, a physicist, a vet tech, and myself, made our way to the summer hangout. I am nothing like my best friends at all, and that is why we have all been friends for twenty plus years. They get me in ways nobody in NYC would even be able to start, and it’s so refreshing to talk about things that don’t involve the small social circle that is fashion and PR in NYC. We got to the bar, had a few tequila shots, and danced with the lifeguards that used to be cute when we were 16, (they were never cute, it’s a small town, EW), and literally had the most amazing night on the water, in the best of company. I had a moment on the dance floor when I looked down and the tip of my shoe was scuffed from the spinning and dipping, and I thought to myself “that’s what Chanel is for, to be worn and loved.” Every time now I look down at my shoes I can’t help but smile, they symbolize the perfect summer night.
